Getstats is the matlab GUI interface to a suite of routines built to simplify design of an automated QC program for Upper OceanThermal data.
Its modules allow you to calculate and retrieve parameters for each cast in a designated subregion. This speeds up subsequent actions.
You can then calculate various statistics based on these parameters and screen the casts for outliers. Most critical values and binning can be changed within the GUI, and the statistics calculated can be chosen from a list of those available.
To use this program, you must invoke Matlab 5.2 or later. You must also have the data/keys files in the QUEST DA format (individual data files in subdirectories defined by the "key" for each cast). Reading of the keys file is faster if it has first been converted to a .mat file (procedure).
You must also declare variables that are useful as globals (decglobs.m). This is probably overkill but most of the variables are useful in one way or another.
"getstats2" begins the GUI. A more detailed description of its use has not yet been prepared.
